Apartment Makeover Part 1

If you didn't already know I am SUPER DUPER DUPER excited about moving into my new apartment in just less than 2 months!!!! Seriously I wish I was moving tomorrow and had everything ready to go. Unfortunately/fortunately I still have some time.

This weekend I completed my first apartment project. There will be more makeovers so that would be why this post is title Part 1.

My parents gave me a table and 4 chairs that had been in the upstairs of our beach house that was really only used to hold our stuff and hang towels over. While I did not love the coloring of it, I fell in LOVE with the basic design of it.

This meant I had some work to do. And I was extremely excited to makeover my very first piece of furniture! So here is what I started with:

Since I do not have any other white furniture going into my apartment, I decided to spray paint the table and chairs a chocolate brown. And since I do not plan on have a beach theme, I got rid of the sea shell fabric and added fabric that was more my style and color. And here is what I got:

I honestly could not love it more. And since the table was free I only spent about $24 on paint and $22 on fabric. This means for less than $50 I have a brand new (to me) table and chair for my apartment. Oh and by the way the glass is missing for the table top!

Up next I have a desk to makeover, some couch pillows, and some other fun crafts! I cannot wait to not only have it all done but all in my apartment as well!
